i see the 2 you are looking at are on ebay in the same garage in NEWTOWN looking at the 2 i would buy the 15 as its got a full metal givi luggage compared to the 2 panniers on the gen 1, plus its saying they have just done the £550 valve clearance service plus £300 worth of altrider crash bars, the gen 1 has none

Yes Rob,
My head said the 15 plate for most of the reasons you’ve stated plus the extra giddies the gen 2 comes with as standard too.
How do you find the steering in yours, the bike I rode yesterday felt very vague. Although it had been lowered. I’m assuming they’re not all like this?

the lowering may have done that,
steering is very good to be honest and with michelin road pilot tyres on you can ride it in the corners quick superb handling,
because i,m 2 up alot the standard shock for me 2 up with luggage was poor so i put a ohlins on it with a 170 spring now its superb, i also have arrow headers with a yoshi can, chris in bristol had it on the dyno for 4 hours flashing the ecu, its superb now

its a shame this weekend i put mine up on blocks to take the forks off, they need sending away to get rechromed as you could of ridden it, but you,ll probably have a bike by the time these come back

Thanks for the offer Rob, that would have been great.
I guessed it was probably just that bike tbh.
Don’t mind the ride up to Newtown, great roads to get me there so I’ll enjoy the ride even if I don’t buy a bike.
I’m currently riding a (dare I say) BMW nine t sport. Which i absolutely love and it’s a keeper. The S10 will be a second bike for longer days out and touring duties.
I do like the Africa Twin too but the S10 is more suited to 2 up touring duties.

Don't be surprised if you find that the Tenere gets chosen more and more as the go to ride. Happens quite a bit. I've always has sport tours, but the Tenere became my favorite bike ever.
lets us know how you get on once you been up there, would love to know
